That&#39;s crazy how much it&#39;s going for on ebay, I love the story of the assistant&#39;s eyes widening as she noticed the YSL. I don&#39;t think there&#39;s that many traders or charity shopping competition to contend with here. Things often seem to lie in the charity shops for weeks, though there&#39;s a huge car boot sale which I know gets rifled by them. xxCityScape Skybabyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10664705819999740018noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2516582745943708173.post-6974359030057227012013-05-06T07:29:46.452-07:002013-05-06T07:29:46.452-07:00That spider brooch is such a neat little find!

It does feel great when you get something wonderful as a bargain. I&#39;ve noticed the same epidemic here. The other week I saw two ladies get a couple of pictures I had just spotted and was moving in for. So I made sure for the rest of the market I was ahead of them! There is still some good stuff, we just might have to share it more! Ah well. I still enjoy that feeling of excitement, not knowing what you might find. xxfrecklefacehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15881334320685123475noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2516582745943708173.post-89291935623189000742013-05-01T19:00:00.609-07:002013-05-01T19:00:00.609-07:00Ooh the drawer liners are GORGEOUS and yay for Hor...Ooh the drawer liners are GORGEOUS and yay for Horrockses - I found a bargain Horrockses last week too and I LOVE her!! <br /><br />Sarah xxxMisfits Vintagehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16235255775524330362noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2516582745943708173.post-49254417936283220722013-05-01T01:09:32.221-07:002013-05-01T01:09:32.221-07:00whoa this spider brooch! amazing! it&#39;s pretty&...whoa this spider brooch! amazing! it&#39;s pretty&amp;kitschy in a very good way ;&gt;<br /><br />[my weirdoland - www.pigeongray.blogspot.com]pigeonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16452770580506793009noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2516582745943708173.post-2409810392553739342013-04-28T01:13:37.654-07:002013-04-28T01:13:37.654-07:00Horrockses! great dress! i tried to get my hands ...Horrockses! great dress! i tried to get my hands on two horrockses dresses this month on ebay - the first horrockses pieces i ever found in germany - but i didn&#39;t won! i found the same carved rose necklace on a flea amrket some weeks ago.wardrobeexperiencehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02131781752240288828noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2516582745943708173.post-84911093883040405892013-04-27T22:09:06.761-07:002013-04-27T22:09:06.761-07:00Oh that dress is fabulous.......and it&#39;s a Hor...Oh that dress is fabulous.......and it&#39;s a Horrockes.

Tara&#39;s story is funny but do true - scent is so evocative and can bring you right back to a specific time. That&#39;s what I love about it - it can evoke so much more than memories!

You have to go out to the middle of nowhere to find good stuff. We should charge the early birds double for getting us out of bed so early. When I have a garage sale I usually keep a few things back and then mark the prices down towards the end of the day so that I can get the whole thing over with!

I am pretty sure he doused himself in that scent before coming to school. He even just showed up on my doorstep out of the blue a couple times asking if we could talk. (About dating I assume) *lol* You know one of the times he showed up he was wearing a trucker cap with a GIANT shrimp picture on it. *Bubba Gump Shrimp* to be exact. &quot;OMG&quot;Vintage Coconuthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01066185329988715511noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2516582745943708173.post-40636647881164111832013-04-24T10:15:00.680-07:002013-04-24T10:15:00.680-07:00I love that dress!

My sister, who was about 10, always took it and wore it to school! Also, that pink moonstone/moonglow necklace is just gorgeous! I adore moonglow and I collect it, big time! I have a 50s pink moonglow cuff bracelet that is one of my faves!<br /><br />Funny story about the Opium fragrance: When I was in high school, I had a summer job and while I spent most of my earnings on Gap and Express (and candy!), I plopped down a nice hunk of change on my very first designer perfume, Opium. I wore that scent to death! It became my &quot;signature fragrance.&quot; During my Opium phase, I had my first boyfriend just after graduation. From the moment it began, I realized I had to break up because the guy was a clingy &quot;Sally stalker!&quot; At the end of our first date, he told me he loved me. Uh, ok. That should have been my cue to &quot;sashay away&quot; but I didn&#39;t have the heart. After three weeks, I called it off and he literally dropped to his knees in my parents&#39; living room and wailed like a banshee. He eventually left in a huff and when I told my girlfriends at work, they fell about the place in fits of laughter. Gee, thanks for the support! Anyway, it&#39;s funny to me now but whenever I smell Opium, I am instantly transported back to the summer of 1993, being 18, and trying to rid myself of Mr. Clingy Dude. Isn&#39;t it funny how fragrance can illicit such memories?Tarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18374686921796483382noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2516582745943708173.post-38963738000527361732013-04-24T07:40:28.415-07:002013-04-24T07:40:28.415-07:00I love the Opium necklace, I&#39;m sure my Mum had...I love the Opium necklace, I&#39;m sure my Mum had one. Never was keen on the fragrance but the design was fabulous. Who on earth pays that much for one though,? There&#39;s some odd people around.<br />That Horrockses dress should do okay and I love the print of the paper.<br />Nobody ever seems to be after the things I like as it&#39;s always still on the table when I get there but I have such a laugh bantering with the old ladies and having a rummage it wouldn&#39;t matter! xxxVixhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05263970600699632661noreply@blogger.com
